There’s nothing more inspiring to me than reviving those long-forgotten balls of yarn. Digging through containers often ignites fond memories, and it’s a great way to clean out the clutter too!

If you’re looking for some creative ways to use up your Stash and do some spring cleaning in the process, here are a few small project ideas for using up your stash:

• Multi-colored coasters- stripe them, felted them, applique them!
• Potholders- play with some simple knit and purl patterns
• Dish towels and washcloths- wake up your kitchen with color
• Sampler lap blankets- sew gauge swatches together for an interesting look
• Wall hangings- have fun with free-form!
• Skinny scarves
• Patchwork tote
• Garter-stripe afghan: Knit a new color every row and leave the ends unwoven in for fun look!
• Change purses with vintage buttons or beads
• Slippers, socks, booties
• Knitted flowers- for brooches or barrettes
